Hi Stephen,
I should be the one apologizing for the dealy.... I got the paper...
please give me time to read
it thoroughly.
I am currently reading a great book by David Wicke "The Infamous
Boundary, Seven Decades of
Heresy in Quantum Physics." I recommend it to anyone interested in the
multiworld, even though
the author himself does not subscribe to this idea. He presents a very
clear explanation of
Bell's Inequality. He also discusses the Quantum Zeno effect.. a quantum
pot never boils if you
are watching it.... I thought of extending the same principle to the
world we live in...It
doesn't disintegrate into elementary particles precisely because we are
watching it.
